Beads and Shells Pencil Cup

This pencil cup has 540 beads in it done in 2 sections of 270 beads separated by a few rounds of shells done in white. It is fairly fun to make and the result is worth the time it takes.

I have removed all of my paper bead making tools from Amazon.

Random Quick Tip!

Easy Quilt Binding Holder
When making cotton quilt binding, as you iron it, let the length of it fall into a clean one gallon sized bucket and then when you go to sew it onto your quilt, you can take the whole bucket, to your sewing machine, set it on the floor between your feet, pin the beginning end of your binding to your quilt where you want to start it and while you are sewing it onto your quilt it will easily come up from the bucket as you place and stitch the binding to the quilt.
